Manitowoc County Executive Bob Ziegelbauer says with permits being obtained from local and state officials, the much-anticipated Meijer store project is on target for 2019. But, he explains that he, Mayor Nickels and County Board chairman Brey all promised there would be no TIF or subsidy for the Meijer project.
The county executive claims the mayor and common council are ‘considering’ violating that promise.
Ziegelbauer added, “I don’t think that’s consistent with our promise” and he stated there will be a discussion with the city if they continue to follow that course.
